Daikon Leaves 大根の葉っぱ

Hello, everyone!  It has been cloudy today.  I have written about the benefits we can get from daikon leaves for skin in this article.  Daikon leaves contain more Vitamin C than daikon, they contain iron more than double compared to spinach, and they are also rich in Vitamin A!  I have been looking for new ways to use daikon leaves.  I was thinking a way which I don't have to cook the leaves and at the same time, I don't have to taste the bitterness of raw daikon leaves.  Then, I got a good idea!  I tried it, and it was a great success!  I have been already repeating the recipe! 
皆様、こんにちは！今日はなんだかずっと曇り空です。以前、こちらの記事で、大根の葉っぱの美肌効果について書かせていただきました。大根の葉は、大根よりもビタミンＣが多く、鉄はホウレンソウの倍以上含み、ビタミンＡも豊富なんです！その後も大根の葉っぱの新たな活用方法を考えてきた私。火を通さないで、なおかつ生の大根の葉っぱがもつ苦味を感じずに食べられる方法がないかしらと思っていたところ、いいアイデアが浮上！そして、トライしてみたら、これが大正解！すでにリピートしています！

I first make julienne strips daikon, daikon leaves, and carrots.  Then, I sprinkled salt on them and leave them for a while.
まず大根、大根の葉っぱ、ニンジンを千切りにします。そして、塩をぱらぱらっとふって、しばらく置いておきます。

After a while, I squeezed the vegetables in order to get rid of the excess water.  Then, I dress the vegetable with soy sauce, organic sugar, and chopped walnuts. 
しばらく置いてから、野菜を絞って余分な水分を除去します。それから、野菜を醤油、オーガニック砂糖、刻んだ胡桃と和えます（つまり胡桃合えをつくるということです）。

By putting some sugar, I don't have to feel the bitter taste of the raw daikon leaves and the taste is great!  I think this could be one of the best ways to eat daikon leaves!  I love this!
お砂糖が少し入ることで、生の大根の葉っぱの苦味を感じる必要がなくなり、とっても美味しくできました！私はこれって、大根の葉っぱを食べるベストの方法の１つではないかと思います。かなり気に入っている自信作です！
